<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 3249251, member: 83956&quot;]To me, one of the more interesting dimensions of the Pontius Pilate story is that according Matthew 27:19, Pilate’s wife has a dream about Jesus and tries to warn Pilate not to crucify Jesus: “When [Pilate] was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, ‘Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.’” (KJV).</p><p><br /></p><p>I’ve regularly attended church all my life and have yet to hear a sermon or even a significant reference to Pilate’s wife. Of course, the dream may be a common literary trope (cf. Julius Caesar’s wife warning him not to go to the Senate on the day of his assassination). Still, women on this board might think the whole thing typical—good advice from a woman gets ignored, and Pilate’s wife still doesn’t get that much attention in the Christian tradition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
